Republicans want to reinstate terminated service members into the military after the Biden admin's controversial COVID-19 vaccine policy was rolled back in the NDAA.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin issued a memo this week formally dropping a controversial COVID-19 vaccine mandate for troops.
Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., introduced a bill that would ensure service members who refused the vaccine will be honorably discharged. "Our men and women in uniform should never have been stripped of the benefits they earned in the first place," Fitzgerald told Fox News Digital. "There are two issues at play here: there are thousands of individuals who were unceremoniously booted from their posts at the same time that every branch of the military is facing recruitment challenges," Mast told Fox News Digital."This bill gives us a chance to right a wrong for those servicemembers who chose to exercise their right to medical freedom, and to get qualified and trained troops back in uniform and protecting our country.
